Review of Ghana’s table group at the World Cup 2022

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is still 7 months away (from November 21 to December 18, 2022). On the evening of April 1, 2022, the whole football world turned to Doha, Qatar, where the draw for the final round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup took place. Accordingly, Ghana was in Group H with Portugal, Korea Republic, and Uruguay.

This is a very interesting group with the participation of 4 notable teams from 4 different continents. According to some reviews from reputable betting sites like soccer Betway, the team with the highest win rate is Portugal.

Although the European Selecao had to go to Qatar with a salvage ticket, their strength was undisputed. Ronaldo’s desire, along with the high performance of the Portuguese players, makes them considered one of the top championship candidates.

Portugal’s most annoying opponent in this group is probably Uruguay, the team that came to the World Cup thanks to 3rd place in the South American qualifiers. However, Uruguay’s form is not really impressive. This team no longer shows discomfort and is not overrated in this World Cup.

The fact that Uruguay is not in good form can open up opportunities for Korea, the elite representative of Asia. Passing the qualifying round easily, the goal of Son Heung-min and his teammates certainly does not stop at the World Cup group stage.

The remaining team of the group is Ghana, a name that always has the potential to surprise the black continent. At the 2010 World Cup, Ghana made a strong impression and wants to repeat the same thing in this year’s tournament.

Twelve years ago, Ghana and Uruguay faced each other in the quarterfinals. The dream of being the first African team to reach the semi-finals has been dashed. They were more bitterly eliminated because Suarez’s hand prevented the goal after 120 minutes. Until now, many Ghanaian players are still bitter.

This is a better opportunity for Ghana to repay this debt. Uruguay’s golden players have stepped to the other side of the slope of their career. The Suarez and Cavani were no longer at their peak.

Coach Paulo Bento’s team will have the first match of the group stage against Uruguay on November 24 (local time), then meet Ghana on November 28 and Portugal on November 2. In order to pass the group stage and reach the round of 16, Korea must be in the top two teams with the highest scores.

The Korean team’s opponents in Group H are not easy to beat, but at least Korea has avoided a confrontation with the two strongest candidates in group 1, France and Brazil, and the two strongest teams in group 2, Germany and Poland.

However, world football star Cristiano Ronaldo still appears in Portugal’s squad this time around, and Uruguay has strikers Suarez and Cavani, so it won’t be easy for Korea to advance to 16.

This is the first time the World Cup has been held in the Middle East region. The Qatar 2022 World Cup will take place at 8 stadiums across Qatar from November 21 to December 18 to avoid the hot summer weather. The South Korean national team has set a challenging goal of reaching the round of 16 after 12 years since the 2010 South Africa World Cup season.
